ALT Sprint – Design Sprint

Get months of product work and customer validation done in a week

ALT Sprint is a five-day or two-week process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. During an ALT Sprint, participants move from mapping the challenge or opportunity to producing a high fidelity prototype and testing it with users.

The sprint process is a combination of our deep experience implementing innovation projects with Google Ventures’ experience running design sprints with hundreds of companies. It is considered a culmination of both organisations’ best thinking around business strategy, innovation, behaviour design, and design thinking — packaged into a tested process that any team can use.

Working with Tandemic in an ALT Sprint, organisations can compress months of work into a single week. A Discover ALT Sprint focuses on gaining a deeper, ethnographic understanding of a new or existing market. A Prototype ALT Sprint helps organisations fast-forward into the future so that you can see your finished product, and customer reactions, before making any expensive commitments.

Tackle the big rocks

ALT Sprints are effective at the beginning of the project to help teams to get a clear picture of what they need to do during the quarter and validate key assumptions with users so teams have the confidence they’re working in the right direction.

Repeatable Process

The ALT Sprint is a structured and documented process. Once team members have had the chance to participate in a sprint and co-lead a sprint with us, they’ll get a handle on how to facilitate sprints within your organisation.
